Lange's
Commentary on the Holy Scriptures was the standard commentary for
nearly a century. The original work was edited by Peter Lange in
Germany (1864-1880). Phillip Schaff supervised the English translation
and contributed substantially to the American edition.

Dr. Lange
used a unique "three-pronged" to each passage. he would examine the
passage with exegetical and critical comments, then go over it again
with doctrinal and ethical interpretation, followed by homiletical and
practical suggestions for application. Thus nearly each section will be
divided as such.

EXEGETICAL AND CRITICAL

DOCTRINAL AND ETHICAL

HOMILETICAL AND PRACTICAL

For this reason Lange's commentary
cannot be neatly divided into verses as the typical digital Bible
commentary. Instead it must remain in sections or chapters to retain
the flow and context of the comments. Sometimes each section or entries
can be quite lengthy.
Comments on the Commentary

“The volumes greatly differ in excellence, yet none could be spared. We have nothing equal to them as a series.” — C. H. Spurgeon

Another opinion

“It promises to be a complete
and useful Commentary and will prove especially valuable to ministers.
It contains critical annotations of the text and its translation, and a
threefold commentary, exegetical, doctrinal, and homiletical. Under
these three heads the text is viewed under every aspect. It forms almost
an exegetical library by itself.” — The New Englander, Volume 23, 1864, p. 543.

The Bible Analyzer Edition

The
Bible Analyzer edition of Lange's Commentary is a digital
representation of the American Translation of the original printed
German edition. Plus it
contains linked footnotes, live verse references, instant searching, and more. It is not a verse based commentary because of the reasons mentioned above, but is section or chapter based.

We
have placed the nearly 14,000 pages of text in a single Bible Analyzer
Module (nearly 100MB) including all Greek/Hebrew text.
